At Metropolitan, we focus on teaching our Interns through multiple didactic rounds each week. Additionally, we offer numerous journal clubs, grand rounds, clinical pathology conferences, and resident-level courses. As part of the program, Interns are required to prepare a clinical pathology presentation, a technician CE presentation, a grand round presentation, and encouraged to submit a publication to a peer-reviewed journal.

 

The Intern’s schedule is flexible and customizable, in line with your area of interest. Four to six elective weeks are built into the schedule to allow further concentration in the Intern’s area of primary clinical interest. These rotations can be onsite or offsite at a place of your choice. 

WE VALUE OUR INTERNS; therefore, we offer an industry high pay of $82,500 for the Internship year, with a $2,500 continuing education stipend to be used for off-site learning, books, equipment, etc. to help you in your training.  Metropolitan will provide a portion of medical insurance, uniform allowance, and reimbursement for Ohio licensure. Interns will have 5 days for job and Internship/Residency interviews. PLIT insurance is 100% paid for by us!
